Saw her today at the reception

I imagine that Ms. Palin envisions her first day of being in charge of the Senate like a debutante party, similar to how Emily Post describes it in "Etiquette": "It is your evening, and you are a sort of little princess! There is music, and there are lights, and there are flowers everywhere … all for you! Up the wide staircase come throngs of fashionables ... on purpose to bow to you!"

I wonder if she's printed invitations yet.
